Default silly question

Is there a difference between a gynacologist and a fertility specialist? This is probably a really silly, obvious question!!
Thanks
Sam

I have always wondered that as well. I can only think that Fertility Specialists only deal with fertility treatments but might have a bit of background knowledge on fibroids/endometrios etc things that can cause Infertility whereas a Gynalogist specialises in everything gynealogical except fertility treatments

Hi, Sam! So, I'm not from the UK but was reading your post and thought I would send a short reply. My regular gynecologist referred me to a fertility specialist my continued resistance to Clomid. They can only prescribe so many fertility medications. That's where the Fertility Specialist (Reproductive Endocrinologist) comes into the picture. They can do so many various treatments to assist you in conception. Also, they deal with male infertility issues as well as female. The majority of female patients at most Fertility Centers are PCOS women. But again, the largest and most definable difference is that they can go above and beyond what a gynecologist can do in order to help you conceive a child. I hope that helps!
